Oh what a day! Hawthorne’s Illinois Festival of Racing
It was a gorgeous day for racing and fun on Oct. 22 at Hawthorne Race Course complete with top notch Illinois-bred horses and activities.
The Illinois Festival of Racing was a day of upsets, as pace battles time and again led to fall apart races and closers picking up the pieces. The most impressive effort on the Festival day card came from the only winning favorite as three-year-old filly Third Chance toyed with a talented field of fillies and mares in the Powerless Handicap. Overall, prices ruled the day as seen from the winning payouts:
Illini Princess – Peyote Patty - $6.40
Sun Power – Sweet Luca - $31.40
Showtime Deb – Class Break - $13.00
Powerless – Third Chance - $3.00
Lightning Jet – Four Left Feet - $31.40
Buck’s Boy – Big Looie - $14.40
